UCF won't have as many players drafted over the four year cycle that includes last year this year and the next two years as Alabama had 1st rounders last year. We will never know what kind of shot they would have with Alabama talent, because they are never going to have Alabama talent, no G5 is. What we do know is that they have managed to get ranked in the top 10 two years in a row and only played 3 P5 opponents. There is not a team in the top 25 that would not be 7-0 with their schedule.
G5's don't have the ability to have rosters anything close to Bama, or a blue blood, or the hot coached P5's. Nothing close to the same zip code.
They don't have a chance because they don't have that talent AND they don't schedule in a way to give them a chance. Period.
It was a hypothetical. Even if you swapped rosters and had the same schedule, Alabama would get in over UCF. This is a legitimate problem. The G5 teams play for absolutely nothing every year. There is no goal outside of winning their conference. I'm not arguing that UCF is as good as Alabama, I'm suggesting that a team going undefeated in two consecutive seasons and winning nothing is dumb. Give them their own playoff.
